The River Peck in the Japanese Garden, Peckham Rye park

The River Peck is a small stream in London that was enclosed in 1823. The stream daylights on the west side of Peckham Rye Park.[1]

In South Bermondsey it flows into the Earl's Sluice which has its confluence with the Thames at Deptford Wharf.[2] Peckham means "homestead of the Peck".[3]
